Although rare, low-grade infection often presents as prosthetic loosening and could be missed. There is controversy about the diagnostic value of bone scintigraphy and laboratory tests in patients suspected of having loosening. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the sensitivity and the ...
Our Fisher exact test also re- vealed that CK5/6 expression was more likely associated with well-differentiated CC and extrahepatic CC, but no association between the calretinin expression and the CC grade or location (Table 5). Discussion Cholangiocarcinoma is an uncommon carcinoma in the ...
The quantitative flow cytometric analysis applied in this study could further be developed into a routine clinical test, with high comparability and reproducibility, across dif- ferent laboratories. Measurement of neutrophil CD64 expres- sion by this method is highly specific, and can be efficiently ...
in the pre-treatment biopsy: histological type and nuclear grade, Ki-67 LI, Estrogen Receptor (ER), Progesterone Receptor (PgR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status (based on both immunostaining score and in situ hybridization analysis for HER2 score 2 cases) c. degre...
Dysregulated methylation of DNA is an important reversible epigenetic mechanism associated with BC pathogenesis via deregulated expression of genes. These genes are critical in the development of clinicopathological features such as tumor stage, histological grade, and TP53 status [36]. There are a numbe...
the Kruskal–Wallis test was used to analyze the evolution of the concentration of the markers from diagnosis to month 6, and the Spearman correlation test was performed to analyze the correlation between blood markers and the tumor marker at diagnosis. The overall confidence level was of 95%, ...
Meanwhile, GWL measurement in controlled laboratory setting has been deemed the gold standard test for various corroded steel structures, because of its high accuracy and ease-operation [2]. Much effort has been put into comprehensive experimental investigations, in particular to determine the ...
When there is no optimal grade of patients, sub-optimal type B patients (patients who are scheduled to be hospitalized) are selected for examination, and the optimal strategy is obtained by analogy. Under the target pursuit of the hospital's revenue, the optimal strategy of the hospital is ...
